Thelower end of the valve body is reduced and screw-threaded, asindicated at 18, for connection to the main or piping, and the outer endof the turning plug also has ascrew-threaded portion 19, for connectionwith the stand pipe. On the outside of the valve body, the turning plugis enlarged, as indicated at 20, and fits the upper end. or" said body.This enlarged portion of the turning plug, as well the ZLCljtlCGlll)portion of the valve body, has an angular surface, the faces of saidangular surfaces being adapted to coincide to facilitate the applicationof a wrench, in order that-the parts may he readily itted on the main orpiping. Both suritaces may be simultaneously gripped by a wrench, sothat the valve body niay be screwed in place without turning the plug,on i the plug may also he held stationary while the stand pipe is heingscrewed thereon.

The valve herein described can be used on any line of piping, and anynumber may be used without interfering with each other.

What is claimed is:

In a valve, a body having a cylindrical. bore provided at one end withan arouate enlargement, there being a partition formed integrally in thebody and extended into the bore; a hollow cylindrical turning "plugarranged to fit closely in the bore and to rest terminally upon thepartition, the lower end of the plug havingastem extended through thepartition, the upper end the plug being enlarged to cover and to restupon the upper end of the body to constitute a closure for the arcuateenlarge rnent of the bore; and m ans carried hy stem and engageahle bythe partition to hold he lower end of the plug aga nst the Q33" the ytition and to hold the enlarged portion of body alternately, and toaline the port in J= the plug against the upper end of the-body; theplug with said body ports alternately. there being an inlet port in theside of the In testimony that I claim the foregoing plug and an inletport in the side of the as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signabodyopening below the stem, the body havture in the presence of twowitnesses.
